"Everything is Illuminated" by Jonathan Safran Foer

Yes I know this book did not win the poll but it was the easist to access at the library of the top vote-getters on short notice. I'm temporaily setting up the next few meetups. Email "monica" under assistant organizers if you have any questions. And we're going back in town for the next meetup!!

Organizer was there at 7, I left work at 6 to go 15 min. away to meetup but do to down poor and flooded streets it took me 1 hr. and 25 min.. as I pulled in organizer was leaving and in a bad mood - I asked if she wanted to go in, she said she wasted enough time already.. I know I was late but didn't think I deserved a bad attitude.. I really tried to get there on time and would have been 30 min. early if not for storm.. I don't know if anyone showed up after I left... I would have liked to go in and at least met with her and had a cup of tea and talked about book and what went wrong.. I guess she was to upset with nobody showing to spend a few more minutes / I do understand her frustration... the book was very interesting but a hard read.. I did enjoy parts of it as I am Jews and understood the trial and tribulations of the time.. I hope next month turns out better.. So sorry I was late...

We're about:

We are a smaller book club that meets monthly. We read fiction and non-fiction and have vegetarian-friendly dinners at meetings. Our members come from all walks of life. The things we have in common are that we like to read, have thoughtful discussions, and eat!

It's OK to come to the meetings even if you didn't like the book or couldn't finish the book. Also, you don't have to be vegetarian to join, and this group is NOT designed as a forum for reading/discussing books about vegetarianism.
